Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms of poor
posture. It takes a lot of energy to hold the body in any awkward
position, and, in turn, alters our breathing capacity which can be diminished
by up to 30%

Good posture is the correct alignment of body parts supported by
the right amount of muscle tension against gravity

A good postural position permits you to breathe better, and as a
result reduces fatigue and minimises other side-effects associated with bad
posture.

Good posture can also increase self confidence with one study
revealing that people adopting good posture not only display greater confidence
but have stronger belief in their own abilities than those with poor posture (5)

Correcting bad posture does take discipline, but there is no
doubt that the benefits are worth the effort.
